Mosaic Co. said Sept. 5 that its Brazil-based unit Mosaic Fertilizantes do Brasil Ltda. has resumed mining at full capacity at the Araxa and Tapira phosphate mines.
In April, the company suspended operations at its Araxa, Tapira, and Catalao phosphate mines after failing to secure a deadline extension on the submission of the stability statements, part of new safety regulations imposed by the government.
The company said it was expecting to hit US$100 million in operating costs from the idling of operations.
